General Requirements:
If Colorado School of English (CSE) cancels any class, all monies paid by the student will be refunded.
Due to ACCET’s refund policy, students are requested, but not required, to submit written notification of withdrawal as a condition of processing a refund.
In the event that no notice of withdrawal is provided (written or verbal), CSE will automatically administratively withdraw a student after s/he has been absent for a maximum of 30 consecutive calendar days (excluding any scheduled breaks) and complete a refund calculation, processing any refunds to or on behalf of the student.
In the event an agent was involved during the application process and payment of tuition, the refund may be made on behalf of the student to the agent. Students who applied through an agent but paid their own tuition, will receive the same refund listed less any commission fees paid to the agent.
Prorated refunds will be calculated on a weekly basis. Partial attendance during any week will be counted as completion of a whole week provided that the student was present at some point during the scheduled week.
CSE is obligated to make refunds to students who are terminated due to violation of CSE’s written, disciplinary and/or attendance policies or local, state, or federal law.
Prospective students that have their visa application denied will be refunded all monies paid by the student to the school less non-refundable items.

Refund Due Dates:

Students that cancel their enrollment prior to the start of classes will be refunded within 45 calendar days of the first scheduled day of class or the date of cancellation, whichever is earlier.
Students that are enrolled and attending classes will be refunded based on their last date of attendance and within 45 days of the documented date of determination (DOD), which is either the date a written/verbal withdrawal was submitted by the student, the date CSE administratively withdraws the student, or the date a student is terminated by CSE due to attendance, conduct or student progress policy violations.
In the event the student provides advanced notice of withdrawal from classes 45 days or more in advance of their last day of attendance, then any refund due to the student shall be paid within 45 days from the last date of attendance (LDA). In other words, refunds are calculated from the last date of attendance (LDA).

Non-refundable items:

The School Application Fee is non-refundable. ($150.00 - $75.00 - $25.00 depending on the program selected).
The Home Stay Application Fee is non-refundable. ($190.00).
Once books have been received by the student, they are non-refundable (Grammar $60.00 and TOEFL $40.00).
The Express Mailing Fee is non-refundable ($75.00 - $100.00).
*Non-refundable fees cannot exceed a total of $500.00.

Important Note Regarding Registration and Tuition:

• Registration fees are due: at the time an I-20 is created for F1 students or before the start of classes for non F-1 students.
• If the student is already in possession of an F1 visa (e.g. a transfer-in student enrolled at another institute within the United States) and requests to transfer into CSE, tuition and registration must be paid at the time a transfer into CSE is approved for registration of courses. Furthermore, if the student has requested that CSE originate the I-20 on the student’s behalf, registration and applicable mailing fees are due prior to the time of issuance. After the I-20 has been shipped to the student, and once the F1 Visa has been issued, tuition is then due.
• Tuition should be paid prior to commencement of classes.
• A late fee of $100.00 will be assessed for tuition payments overdue by one week or more.
• Students may be expelled without notification, if payments are not made on time and/or if students do not comply with CSE’s attendance, conduct, or student progress policy.
• Please note that expulsion from the school may result in termination of the student’s I-20.
• If you have any concerns regarding payment and/or termination, please contact Colorado School of English immediately.
• The Cancellation and Refund Policy will remain in effect for the duration of the student’s attendance at Colorado School of English.
• The Cancellation and Refund Policy is available upon request.
